Confession is good for the soul. I confess that I ate too much turkey over Thanksgiving. I confess that I slept in a little later than I had planned this morning. And I confess that I haven’t been monitoring comments on this site in some time.

The lengths that people go to in order to put spam on your blog is simply amazing. Even more amazing is the type of spam that is submitted. I did a (decidedly unscientific) survey of the 22 pages of comment spam on Sacred Loops today, and I found that the majority of spam is about drugs or supplements. I figure this is merely one more indicator of the state of our society. After all, almost nobody spams a blog with links about Jesus or God or salvation.

I’m working through the various options for slamming spam (filters, captchas, prior comment approvals, etc.), and I’ll have a solution in place by the weekend. My apologies to all of you who submitted comments over the last several months, only to have them disappear into moderation limbo.
